He goes from “Greatness equals top, powerful, master, first, ruler, adult to Greatness equals bottom, servant, slave, last, child” (Kraybill, 2011, p.229). This equation shows how people that are powerful and first are not the true meaning of greatness and those that are humble, at the bottom, and servants are what true greatness really means. Many of the characteristics that adults talked about on the interviews are what true greatness means.

  • The Leadership of Cesar Chavez

    2507 Words  | 6 Pages

    It is crucial to have an awareness of the early beginnings of his life in order to understand Cesar Chavez’s development into becoming the celebrated leader he is known as today. One of the noteworthy aspects of his life is that he was not what some would consider a “natural-born” leader, meaning that he was not born into a family of great wealth or power. Chavez was born on March 31, 1927 near the town of Yuma, Arizona to a humble, hardworking Mexican immigrant family. His grandfather, Cesario Chavez, for whom he was named after, had worked hard to save enough money to be able to buy land in Arizona and raise his thirteen children, which included Cesar’s father. His father, Librado Chavez, grew up, got married, and opened up a couple of small businesses to help provide for his family and build a better life for his own children. According to biographical accounts about Cesar, this is when and where he began to learn and...

    In many high schools, there is an unspoken social order amongst peer groups; teenagers are either included in the popular group or the unpopular group. These social standings are determined by the popular group whether they will accept certain people based on shared interests and values but mainly on appearance. For example, some groups may isolate a student who does not have clothing considered to be attractive enough. Teenagers belonging to the popular clique label individuals as outcasts who do not fit the clique’s standards of a perfect appearance. This repression can cause a build up of anger if an outcast seeks to be accepted into that popular group. Literature displays this social phenomenon of categorizing people too; author Mary Shelley

    ...s and therefore had little prior knowledge of César Chávez. There have been many trends, trends and themes that have been continued throughout the semester. A noticeable a trend forming throughout this class was in some books (Like MLK’s book) it introduces you to the movement rather than to the leader, which is the case also when studying César Chávez’ An Organizer’s tale where this is even more evident. Just the introduction notified me that César Chávez was a poor farm worker who had been raised in substandard conditions and did not have many years of education. These facts are the most important and were very useful in making sure to understand the remainder of the chapters I used. From the video I learned he was of small stature and soft spoken. These were traits that I had not yet associated with leadership, even though Gandhi could be described the same way.

  • Psychosocial Development in Middle Childhood

    In middle childhood, the child’s self-concept becomes more pessimistic and logical. They become more aware of what other’s think of them, and so they become aware of, and internalize, the stereotypes that follow minority groups (Berger K. S., 2010, p.285-286). Self-concept in middle childhood also becomes more dependent on others, especially in their peer group. They begin to compare themselves and their talents to others, an action called social comparison. Social comparison can, ideally, help a child value themselves in a way that is realistic and leaves their overly unrealistic self-concept behind.... ...
